ChiefsPlanet - Funny Stuff New Conference re-alignment thread

Really?

I'd be bummed if the Chiefs left the Raiders and Broncos, especially if it were a lateral move.

And I'd be pissed if the Cardinals ended up in that glorified shithole of a softball league - the AL.

If all things are equal, I understand the 'rivalry' aspect of it. However, A) All things aren't equal and B) The rivalry element will never be dispositive. In college football, moving to the SEC w/ the history and tradition of the conference trumps the XII rivalries w/ Kansas and...well really only Kansas.

See, I don't give a shit. Never really have. Teams move, and build new rivalries. Personally, I think the concept of rivalries is a bit overrated.

We completely agree on Mizzou/SEC however. I know a lot of guys give DaKCManAP shit when he says the SEC is the best conference going, but he's 100% correct.

Unfortunately for you Tiggers, you'll probably **** this up and stay in a dying B12.

the issue isn'treally football and basketball, it's all the non-revenue sports - baseball, lacrosse, soccer, volleyball, wbb, etc that would be costly to travel great distances.

I think you are forgetting though that MU would have been in the 2007 NC game if it wasn't for the Big 12 title game.

And how would we get to the NC game with a regular season loss to OU, in a Big XII without a title game? If I'm interpreting your post correctly that is.

MU would have to expand their stadium if they joined the SEC.

Why?

They currently seat 71K, IIRC.

That's more than 4 current SEC schools.

They were ranked #1 in the BCS prior to the Title Game.

Demand for tickets would skyrocket.

Per Twitter: DaveSittler Source: Neinas "working hard at re-recruiting Mizzou and talking them down off the ledge" and away from jumping to SEC.

You won't get that in the SEC.

I wouldn't eliminate the possibility that if the Big XII does expand back to 12 teams that they don't pull a Big X and put OU in the North and UT in the South creating the possibility of those two meeting in the Big XII Championship Game.

Question for Mizzou fans:

Why in God's name do those of you that would "prefer to stay in the B12" feel that way?

Major Kansas City bias towards the small minority of Mizzou fans that want to stay. KC is the center of the Big 12 and would be on the outskirts of the SEC's footprint. It is unlikely the SEC bball tourney would ever come to KC (as hilariously minor as that is in the grand scheme of things).

The Curators have reportedly said over 90% of Mizzou fans appear to be in favor of leaving.

OU and UT only want to play each other once though. They really don't want a rematch in the Big 12 championship game.

Which means you raise ticket prices. No need to expand the stadium, IMO.

Hell, I'm not even that big of a CFB fan, but if Mizzou moved to the SEC and had the likes of Alabama, Auburn, Ole Miss, etc on their home schedule, you bet your ass I'm making the trip to Columbia a few times.

I'm not wasting my time/money to see ISU/KSU/KS, etc.

I was at the game, I'm aware of their ranking at the time and the implications of the loss. I'm saying we lost to OU in the regular season in 2007. If that happens now, with no title game, what are the chances we are ranked #1, are in a position to win a Big XII title and go to the NC game? How do you win a 9 or 10 team league with a conference loss? If all the stars do align and you win the Big XII "title" with a conference loss, what are the odds you're #1 in the country and get a NC game bid?

Sounds great. Perhaps they could take a page from the B1G and name the divisions Lackeys and Losers.
